UnitingCare ReGen would like to invite workers in AOD industry and justice services to the Catalyst and Torque Programs Open Day.

The Catalyst Program is an award winning initiative, non-residential program open to people 18 years and above in Victoria. The Torque Program is based on the original Catalyst Program for people involved in the justice system.

The Open Day is on Friday 21st October 2016 from 9.15am– 12.15pm @ 26 Jessie St Coburg

The day will provide an opportunity for workers to gain an understanding of the program aims, model and referral pathways and to hear from previous participants experiences.

Please RSVP to Loren on by Friday 7 October 2016 if you would like to attend.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the event. The Powerpoint slides from Paul's presentation are now available on SlideShare. Photos of some of the advocacy messages coming out of our discussion are available via our Facebook page or Instagram account.

The next ReGen Consumer Participation Training is on Monday July 4 and Tuesday July 5 at 26 Jessie Street Coburg.

The training focus is on the practice of Consumer Participation not only at UnitingCare ReGen, but also in the Victorian Alcohol and other Drug Sector (Edita Kennedy from the Association of Participation Service Users (APSU) will be delivering this session). As a foundation to alcohol and other drug policy, Brad Pearce (Program Manager at the Victorian Alcohol and Other Drug Agency (VAADA)) will present on the Victorian Alcohol and other Drug Sector. Jane Dicka (Drug Overdose Peer Educator at Harm Reduction Victoria) will deliver on Harm Reduction and Health Rights. Last but never least, Richard Gornall (Consumer Consultant) is delivering on Self Care and Consumer Participation.

Our International Women's Day event saw some terrific discussion of barriers, stigma and discrimination faced by women in AOD treatment and throughout our communities. Thanks especially to our Consumer Consultants for sharing their stories and experience. You can can read Michelle's presentation on her experience in recovery and Richard's poem on global, intergenerational issues. Photos from the event are on our Facebook page or Instagram account.
